| | Eastern Rite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most Eastern Catholics are also directly subject to a patriarch, major archbishop, or metropolitan who has authority for all the bishops and the other faithful of his rite or particular Church (canons 56 and 151 of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches). | | | Clerical celibacy is not obligatory for Eastern Catholic priests, as distinct from their bishops, but is in fact practised by many of them, particularly those who live according to monastic tradition. | | | The term Eastern Rites may refer to the liturgical rites used by many ancient Christian Churches of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and India that, while being part of the Catholic Church, are distinct from the Latin Rite or Western Church. |

| | Mary and the Eastern Christian |
| | Fittingly, the liturgical year of the Eastern Churches ends as it begins, with a feast in honor of the Virgin Mother. | | | And while married men are still ordained in many countries and among many of the Churches, the Ukrainian Catholic Churches in Canada and the U.S. have observed a ban on ordinations of married priests that was decreed by Rome in the 1920s. | | | Unlike Roman Catholics, the Eastern faithful have retained a more visible evidence of their religious progress through the ages, reminding them that they are only the latest chapter in the story of creation. |

| | What is an Eastern Rite Catholic Church? |
| | We, the Mother of God Catholic Church, are part of the Byzantine-Ukrainian Rite (1 of 23 Rites in the Catholic Church) that is in full communion with and obedient to the Pope, the head of the Roman Catholic Church in Rome. | | | This is why the Eastern Churches call on their members to engage in a spiritual warfare in the arena of their hearts, learning to subject their weaknesses to the divinizing power of the Holy Spirit working within them. | | | Eastern Christians are urged to conduct this warfare with the help of a spiritual guide. |

| | Ordination of Married Men in the Eastern Church |
| | This is his message and the tradition of the Eastern Church from Apostolic times to the present and that is why we have designated St. Paphnutios as patron saint of married priests and deacons. | | | During the 4th century in the Eastern Church the growing influence of monasticism and Neoplatonism with their emphasis on the practice of celibacy led to a need for ecclesiastical legislation to govern the marriage of the clergy. | | | After the separation of the Eastern and Western Churches in 1054, the Orthodox discipline on marriage and celibacy continued as it had been observed in the undivided Church. |

| | Comments on the Western Rite |
| | The sense of unity in the Diocese is for the faith, not the rite. | | | It has nothing to do with rite; it has to do with your witness to the truth and those things which you are not only willing to sacrifice, but are in actuality offering up in sacrifice for the truth. | | | The faith that you hold, combined with the rite in which you practice that faith, is more important than anything else. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: East Syrian Rite |
| | Brightman, in his "Liturgies Eastern and Western", includes Chaldean and Malabar Catholics and Nestorians under "Persian Rite", and Bishop Arthur Maclean of Moray and Ross (Anglican) who is the best living authority on the existing Nestorians, calls them "East Syrians", which is perhaps the most satisfactory term. | | | He sets aside a "memorial of the Virgin Mary, Mother of Christ" (Chaldean; usual Malabar Rite, "Mother of God"; but according to Raulin's Latin of the Malabar Rite, "Mother of God Himself and of the Lord Jesus Christ"), and of the patron of the Church (in the Malabar Rite, "of St.Thomas"). | | | In Neale's translation of the Malabar Rite the Karazutha, the Offertory, and the Expulsion of the Unbaptized come before the Lections and the Creed follows immediately on the Gospel, but in the Propaganda edition of 1774 the Offertory follows the Creed, which follows the Gospel. |

| | All the rites of the Catholic Church also hold the same dogmas; they are unequivocally united in faith and moral teachings, for they are all part of one Holy Mother Church. | | | Most of the Eastern Rites came about when members of various Eastern Churches (Orthodox, Coptic, etc.) decided to return to union with the Pope of Rome. | | | The one exception is the Maronite Rite, which says it always recognized the Holy Father. |
